♥♥♥♥♥ YOU GOTTA READ THIS BOOK! ♥♥♥♥♥

Danielle thinks that the worst is behind her, but she couldn’t have been more wrong… As a beauty editor of Denver’s hot new High Life magazine, Danielle Starkey didn’t have becoming a widow on her to-do list. Then nine months after her husband’s death, she discovers he booked a vacation with another woman. Suddenly, Danielle sees Adam’s death in a whole new light and has to get over it – for the second time. Hit with the truth when she least expects it, Danielle brings a fresh, funny, and honest approach to the grieving process as she struggles through online dating, stalking her dead husband’s mistress, and, hopefully, finding the man of her dreams. With her stubborn and sassy best friend April by her side. Danielle refuses to let sleeping dogs lie. Will she finally face the truth about herself and her marriage? Or will she succumb to one of the five stages of grief?

~The Review~

Danielle Starkey thinks that she’s mourned for her husband, and let’s face it, being a twenty-nine year old widow is not something most women consider a part of their future. So when Danielle discovers her late husband was *cheating* on her…Well, that puts a whole new spin on things. 5 Stages of Grief is a witty, sarcastic, self-deprecating tale of one woman’s second trip through grief and to finding herself again. At one time or another, most of us have grieved something or someone in our lives. Danielle is a complex character who represents us all. Maybe that’s why she’s easy to identify with. She has a job that most of us will never have, she’s been through more than most of us will ever experience, and she puts herself in situations that are difficult and embarrassing and that most of us would avoid. And yet, I cheered for Danielle when she made it through yet another stage. I applauded her when she confronted her husband’s mistress, and shook my head when she hit rock bottom. But in each phase of Danielle’s journey to healing, it’s so easy for me to put myself in her shoes and understand her motivation. All in all, 5 Stages of Grief is a laugh-out-loud, unbelievable, totally understandable, incredibly insightful glimpse into the grieving. You don’t want to miss it!
